“This is a really nice Giant Tiger. They have a decent selection of women's clothes, but they have the biggest selection of Men's clothing I've seen in the Ottawa area. They don't have a lot in the grocer section, it seems like mostly clothing and items. The staff were friendly and didn't mind my return from a different store.”
“Decent prices for items Not too busy when visited Staff helpful in finding things Bargain department store nothing fancy Nostalgic for items cant find elsewhere”
“Zach is like the definition of sunshine and lollipops and rainbows. He was really friendly and fun to chat with while he was checking us out. He looked happy the whole time. Lowk give him a raise he deserves it. Also got a Halloween mug here and it was cute :)”
“There are numerous new collections and a wide variety of party dress models available. The store is well-organized, ensuring a pleasant shopping experience without any clutter or discarded boxes lying around. The staff are always ready to assist, adding to the overall positive atmosphere.”
“Five stars for a Walmart?!? It's a Walmart. However, it is cleaner, better stocked and less crowded than other Walmarts in Ottawa. They have a good selection of imported/exotic products. They have a surprisingly good selection of snacks from the UK, especially chocolates. And they are much cheaper than specialty candy stores. They carry Tunnock's brand items from the UK: Snowballs, Tea Cakes and Caramel Wafer Biscuits! I love these. They also have a good selection of Asian products. They have Turtle Chips from Korea! They also carry my favourite ramen brand from Korea: Buldak! Oh yeah, bring on that fire chicken! Haha. They have the largest selection of Buldak flavours I've seen outside of an Asian grocery store. Their regular mainstream items are reasonably priced and they often have sale items in-stock. Their pharmacists are competent and diligent. My parents get their prescriptions filled at this Walmart, and without going into the specifics, I can say that my interactions with the pharmacy staff in straightening out issues related to prescribers not being as clear as they could have been, have been positive. I have been impressed with their professionalism and committment to getting things right. Not all Walmarts are equal. This one is better than the rest. Lots of free parking, obviously.”
“I went to Canadian Tire looking for a specific item but found a lot more than what I wanted! The staff were super friendly, but there was one person who was in the spotlight for friendliness and professionalism. I forgot an item by the time I got to the checkout lane, and one of the cashiers working there, was so patient with me, while I went to go and get it from the shelf. He was very happy and very polite, even when I felt I was inconveniencing him by making him wait longer. Before I left I asked him what his name was so I could talk to customer service, but they looked incredibly busy so I decided to write a review instead. Please let Jacob know what a wonderful worker he is! I look forward to shopping at this store in the future! -Armaya”
